A Florida sheriff took the unusual step of arresting two girls in connection with a bullying case that resulted in another 12 year old girl committing suicide. Rebecca Sedwick jumped off the tower of an abandoned cement plant last month after she was repeatedly bullied. One girl who was arrested is 14 years old, the other is just 12, and they are charged with aggravated stalking. Anderson spoke with Rebecca's mother before today's developments.

Program note: Watch the AC360° documentary "The Bully Effect" on CNNI at 8 p.m. ET tonight. The film follows the lives of families featured in the movie "Bully."
By Lee Hirsch
Director, "Bully"
As a documentary filmmaker, I'm privileged to tell the stories of others safely from behind the camera, but when I started to work on the movie "Bully," more than three years ago, I had to revisit my own experience of being bullied in school. I also had to face how that impacted my adult life.
Bullying for me was violent and, at times, terrifying. Black and blue turned to yellow for months on end. In the early days of making the film, it was about validating the experience for myself and for others who have experienced the humiliation and sadness of being a victim. Now, the key question is how do we tap into the momentum the film has generated to create lasting, positive change?

Programming note: Tune in to CNN tonight at 8 p.m. ET to watch "The Bully Effect."
The new AC360° documentary, "The Bully Effect," follows the lives of families who were featured in the eye-opening film "Bully," and also the filmmaker Lee Hirsch. CNN producers dedicated a year to tracing their journeys of self-discovery, and the transformative experiences they had as a result of the movie.
They have become empowered through telling their stories of struggle and perseverance. In their own unique ways, they're on the front lines of the movement to stop bullying. As you can see in"The Bully Effect," they were victims who are now inspirations and advocates for others suffering in silence.
There has been a remarkable outpouring of support and responses to the documentary. Viewers have taken to Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Google+, AC360.com, and iReport to share their own stories, advice, and words of encouragement. It's a testament to the changes happening around the country in large and small communities, led by adults and kids who believe, like Anderson Cooper does, that enough is enough.
Editor's note: Stuart Snyder is the President and COO of Cartoon Network. Tune in tonight at 8 p.m ET and on March 9 at 8 p.m. ET to watch AC360°'s "The Bully Effect," created in partnership with Cartoon Network.
Just last week, I had the privilege of standing with Sen. Robert Casey (D-PA) and the staff and students of Philadelphia's Harding Middle School to support them in speaking up against bullying. We raised Cartoon Network's new STOP BULLYING: SPEAK UP flag to support a school that is working tirelessly to create a vibrant, safe, respectful educational community where all students are accepted and valued.
Accepted and valued; something all our nation's children deserve to feel, but many don't.

Editor's note: Robert Casey, a Democrat, is a U.S. senator from Pennsylvania. Watch a special edition of AC360°'s "The Bully Effect" tonight on CNN at 8 p.m. ET, and on March 9 at 8 p.m. ET.
CNN and the Cartoon Network's presentation of the AC360° special feature, "The Bully Effect," spotlight a serious issue affecting children across our nation. The film underscores the damaging consequences of bullying and the need to prevent and respond to it.
Lawmakers have a responsibility to ensure that our schools are safe, which is why I have made addressing this problem a priority in the United States Senate. I firmly believe that all children have a right to an education free from fear of being bullied. The denial of this basic right is a betrayal of children who simply want to learn.

Programming note: "The Bully Effect" is a new AC360 documentary that follows the lives of three families since they were featured in "Bully." It airs Sunday, March 3 and Saturday, March 9 at 8 p.m. ET.
For AC360's "The Bully Effect," Lee Hirsch, the director of the film "Bully," returns, for the first time in 27 years, to the middle school where he was victimized as a child.
Hirsch's movie is an eye-opening look at the psychological damage caused by bullying. He's used "Bully" to launch a movement to make schools safer and teach kids and parents how to combat the problem. Every student in his former middle school went to see the film as part of his initiative for 1 million children to watch it.
In anticipation of tonight's documentary, "The Bully Effect," we've heard from many of you on Facebook and Twitter and AC360.com. There's a clear common thread from people representing different age groups, ethnicities, locations, and background: we must take action to prevent children from suffering at the hands of bullies.
As Anderson Cooper wrote in an op-ed today, empathy and understanding are the weapons we need to give kids to combat destructive behavior. Bystanders need to stand up for those who cannot stand up for themselves. Every child deserves to go to school and grow up in a safe environment, free from threats and harassment.
Editor's note: Don't miss the premiere of "The Bully Effect" on AC360° at 10 p.m. ET tonight. The documentary airs again on March 3 and March 9 at 8 p.m. ET.
A red-faced Gordon Ramsay gets nose-to-nose with an older man and shouts, "Wake up!" He calls another chef's food "rotten." He reduces a middle-aged woman to hysterical tears. And all that's just in the opening credits of "Kitchen Nightmares."
For the next hour of the British culinary icon's popular reality TV series, there is little in the way of praise or pats on the back for the chefs he's coaching. Instead, he swears. He throws food. He calls people "stupid" and "disgusting pigs." His entire performance is based on sharp criticism and what some may argue is bullying-type behavior. Viewers eat it up.
Nightmarish behavior is the stuff reality TV shows are made of. Ramsay is certainly not alone. Tami Roman on VH1's "Basketball Wives" calls her friends "bitches" and physically attacks one of them in front of a fancy Miami restaurant. A study of the U.K.'s version of "The Apprentice" found it depicted 85 aggressive acts an hour. "American Idol" showed 57 aggressive acts an hour.

In the last few years, awareness about bullying has increased dramatically. While some adults may still think bullying is just a youthful rite of passage, more and more parents, educators and kids understand that bullying today is worse than in previous generations.
It doesn't stop at the school yard or even a child's front door. Access to the Internet and social media websites mean kids can be bullied and tormented around the clock, even in the supposed safety of their own homes. The cruelty that can come with the strike of a button on a keyboard can hurt just as much as any punch or push in a playground.
We've produced a documentary called "The Bully Effect" which follows the stories of a number of people filmmaker Lee Hirsch introduced audiences to in his remarkable 2012 film "Bully." These are kids and parents who have taken their pain, their suffering, their grief and turned it into action. They are truly inspiring.

Editor's note: Don't miss the premiere of "The Bully Effect" on AC360° at 10 p.m. ET Thursday. Note graphic language in this story.
Brandon Turley didn't have friends in sixth grade. He would often eat alone at lunch, having recently switched to his school without knowing anyone.
While browsing MySpace one day, he saw that someone from school had posted a bulletin - a message visible to multiple people - declaring that Turley was a "fag." Students he had never even spoken with wrote on it, too, saying they agreed.
Feeling confused and upset, Turley wrote in the comments, too, asking why his classmates would say that. The response was even worse: He was told on MySpace that a group of 12 kids wanted to beat him up, that he should stop going to school and die. On his walk from his locker to the school office to report what was happening, students yelled things like "fag" and "fatty."

Conservatives often point out that laws, no matter how benign they may appear, have unintended consequences. They can reverberate in ways that not many people foresaw and nobody wanted: Raising the minimum wage can increase unemployment; prohibition can create black markets. The efforts in many cities to discourage the use of plastic bags demonstrate that such unintended consequences can be, among other things, kind of gross. San Francisco has been discouraging plastic bags since 2007, saying that it takes too much oil to make them and that used bags pollute waterways and kill marine animals. In 2012, it strengthened its law. Several West Coast cities, including Seattle and Los Angeles, have also adopted bans for environmental reasons. The government of Washington, D.C., imposes a 5 cent plastic-bag tax. (Advocates prefer to call it a "fee" because taxes are unpopular.) Environmental groups and celebrity activists, including Eva Longoria and Julia Louis- Dreyfus, support these laws. The plastic-bag industry, predictably, wants to throw them away. It says that the making of plastic bags supplies a livelihood to 30,000 hard-working, law-abiding, patriotic Americans, many of whom have adorable children to support. It cites a 2007 report by San Francisco's Environment Department that said plastic bags from retail establishments, the target of the ban, accounted for only 0.6 percent of litter. Spreading Disease Most alarmingly, the industry has highlighted news reports linking reusable shopping bags to the spread of disease. Like this one, from the Los Angeles Times last May: "A reusable grocery bag left in a hotel bathroom caused an outbreak of norovirus-induced diarrhea and nausea that struck nine of 13 members of a girls' soccer team in October, Oregon researchers reported Wednesday." The norovirus may not have political clout, but evidently it, too, is rooting against plastic bags. Warning of disease may seem like an over-the-top scare tactic, but research suggests there's more than anecdote behind this industry talking point. In a 2011 study, four researchers examined reusable bags in California and Arizona and found that 51 percent of them contained coliform bacteria. The problem appears to be the habits of the reusers. Seventy-five percent said they keep meat and vegetables in the same bag. When bags were stored in hot car trunks for two hours, the bacteria grew tenfold. That study also found, happily, that washing the bags eliminated 99.9 percent of the bacteria. It undercut even that good news, though, by finding that 97 percent of people reported that they never wash their bags. Jonathan Klick and Joshua Wright, who are law professors at the University of Pennsylvania and George Mason University, respectively, have done a more recent study on the public-health impact of plastic-bag bans. They find that emergency-room admissions related to E. coli infections increased in San Francisco after the ban. (Nearby counties did not show this increase.) And this effect showed up as soon as the ban was implemented. ("There is a clear discontinuity at the time of adoption.") The San Francisco ban was also associated with increases in salmonella and other bacterial infections. Similar effects were found in other California towns that adopted such laws. More Deaths Klick and Wright estimate that the San Francisco ban results in a 46 percent increase in deaths from foodborne illnesses, or 5.5 more of them each year. They then run through a cost-benefit analysis employing the same estimate of the value of a human life that the Environmental Protection Agency uses when evaluating regulations that are supposed to save lives. They conclude that the anti-plastic-bag policies can't pass the test — and that's before counting the higher health-care costs they generate. The authors argue, not completely convincingly, against the idea that regular washing and drying of reusable bags would solve the problem. They point out that the use of hot water and detergent imposes environmental costs, too. And reusable bags require more energy to make than plastic ones. The stronger argument, it seems to me, is that 97 percent figure: Whatever the merits of regularly cleaning the bags, it doesn't appear likely to happen. The best course for government, then, is probably to encourage people to recycle their plastic bags — or, maybe, just let people make their own decisions. Plastic-bag bans are another on a distressingly long list of political issues where I cannot see eye to eye with Eva Longoria. Ramesh Ponnuru is a Bloomberg View columnist, a visiting fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and a senior editor at National Review.

Home Energy Magazine Online March/April 1993
Dear Bill Clinton
Now that you have moved into the White House, we would like you to take a careful look at your new home. Is it energy-efficient? We doubt it. You can set a good example by installing the most energy-efficient refrigerators, air conditioners, lights, and windows. You will also be saving taxpayers' money, which would also please us. But don't stop with the White House; there are 90 million more homes across the country that could benefit from efficiency improvements. What kinds of policies will make this happen?
The greatest energy savings will come from the implementation and extension of the appliance efficiency standards. The standards are already reducing consumers' utility bills as old appliances are replaced. These standards should be continued and strengthened where appropriate. In addition, they should be modified to reward manufacturers that greatly exceed the minimum. The next step is to develop minimum efficiency standards for new homes and major renovations. The standards would cover space and water heating, cooling, lighting, and water. In all these areas, relatively modest investments will substantially reduce energy and water use. A special mortgage subsidy along with an effective rating system for homes with efficiency measures might drive the market even faster. Presently, there is a patchwork of efficiency standards. A single national code would simplify home design and construction.
You should encourage regulatory agencies to let utilities profit from energy efficiency. Yes, it is hard to imagine how a company can profit by selling less of their product, but many utilities are doing just that. In some cases, utilities are the best agents for energy efficiency. Unleash them, but make sure that they verify the savings because utilities get greedy, too.
Poor people suffer disproportionately from high energy costs, and the government has several reasons to help them reduce their costs. For one, the government often pays their utility bills or the indirect costs from homelessness or resulting health problems. Even when low-income weatherization programs have enough money--few do--they are hampered by federal regulations that stifle innovation. For example, they are forbidden to attack the non-space heating components of energy use. We recommend that low-income weatherization programs be continued but that they be encouraged to try new technologies and approaches, such as linking to utility DSM programs.
Don't forget that you are the nation's largest home builder and landlord. In that position, you can exert tremendous leverage in the market by insisting on very high insulation levels, and only the most efficient refrigerators, lights, and windows. Presently, the HUD standards for public housing are scandalously lax and sometimes even fail to meet local standards. Military bases are just as bad. There is tremendous potential for retrofitting existing housing, too.
Finally, you need to increase federal support of energy efficiency research. Today's research produces the conservation technologies of tomorrow. Past research at the national laboratories and universities has produced some of the efficiency stars: electronic ballasts, low-emissivity windows, and new insulation materials. There's no reason to doubt that new discoveries will continue to flow if research funding is maintained.
Most of these recommendations involve re-jiggering current policies rather than spending more money. That's why we think that you can't lose by making energy efficiency a key element of your administration's policy.

You probably don't think of your car as a developer platform, but Mike Rosack did. A few days after buying his Chevy Volt, Rosack started slowly mining his driving data. But he eventually revved up his efforts and created a community platform for drivers to track their own efficiency. Today more than 1,800 Volt owners compare stats with each other, jockeying for position on Rosack's Volt Stats leader board.
The Volt is, in many ways, a natural fit for hacker car enthusiasts. GM already heavily "gamifies" the Volt with its Driver Information Center, a dashboard display providing immediate visual feedback on how efficiently the car is being driven. The car is also heavily instrumented for OnStar, which gives drivers access to performance information and other data through its RemoteLink mobile app for iOS and Android.
Rosack initially wanted to do more with his own driving data than just view it on his phone. So he built what eventually became Volt Stats to capture this data, then started sharing it with other Volt owners. There was just one small problem: Volt Stats relied on Rosack's reverse engineering of an interface for OnStar's RemoteLink mobile application (iOS and Android). When OnStar moved to shut down the Web services interface Rosack had plugged into in mid-October, Volt Stats arrived at a screeching halt.
Rather than leaving Volt Stats stalled on the roadside, GM and OnStar accelerated efforts to give developers a new public Web API to create services on top of OnStar data. The companies even worked with Rosack to get him onboard and get Volt Stats re-launched. Now, Volt Stats is back online and other would-be car data hackers will soon be able to connect their Web applications to GM owners' vehicle data (provided, of course, that they have privacy policies that meet with the approval of GM and OnStar lawyers).
OnStar had already developed an API for GM partners such as the car-sharing service RelayRides, who need to get access to some of the remote control and telematics elements of the service. But this new interface takes advantage of technologies such as OAuth and JAX-RS and it's a step toward turning OnStar into a broader platform for the "Internet of things." It's also a way to give car enthusiasts a new kind of access to something they've always thought of as their own—their cars' data.
The "Kleenex of telematics"
GM's OnStar has been around for 16 years, and it's established itself as an industry leader. "It's been the Kleenex of telematics for a long time," said OnStar Director of Advanced Technology Steve Schwinke. OnStar originally developed as a service for luxury cars that integrated safety with an on-demand driver concierge service. "It started with the basic promise that if the airbag deploys, we're going to provide you help," Schwinke said. "It's also the original 'app' in the vehicle, where you hit that OnStar blue button to get our call center."
Today, OnStar gets 150,000 calls a day from customers using that blue button. But Schwinke said there's nearly as much communication coming directly from vehicles on a daily basis: 130,000 times a day. That's how often OnStar hardware in GM cars "phones home" over a cellular packet data connection to OnStar's data centers to be interrogated for diagnostic and maintenance data.
OnStar has been on the bleeding edge of machine-to-machine communications since its launch. When someone pushes the blue button, Schwinke said, "we want to get information on why they're calling, then talk to them, then get more data. It requires the ability to decode data from the vehicle when the request is pressed, all the data you've collected on a vehicle, get their location, and then present that [to a call center employee] who can greet the customer by name. It's not for the faint of heart."
While 95 percent of its coverage is provided by Verizon Wireless in the US, the last five percent is made up of 29 different carriers with a wide range of network technologies. OnStar's proprietary Air Interface (AIX) Protocol is based on a Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) 1x connection. AIX is designed to work anywhere there's cellular service, at essentially 2G-speed, with a 56 kilobit-per-second transfer rate.
To help reduce the chattiness of the protocol, OnStar uses the User Datagram Protocol for some of its data (which doesn't require an acknowledgement for each block of data sent). And to reduce the number of transmissions, the OnStar onboard computer can cache up to 100 kilobytes worth of diagnostic codes before dumping data back to the mother ship, or it can send alerts immediately when a severe problem is detected.
"We can send data at every ignition cycle, or periodically based on time or the odometer miles, or when something bad happens in the vehicle," Schwinke said. For a severe condition code (such as an air-bag trigger), the OnStar module automatically calls OnStar's call center.
Even within those small, cheap bursts of data, OnStar can collect a lot. "What people don't seem to know is that we have this deep integration with all the electronic components in the vehicle," Schwinke said. "We have access not only to trouble codes, but things like parameter IDs that give battery voltage, the outside air temperature—anything that (vehicle sensors) would record, the OnStar module can request all that data. We can even tell you if you left the gas cap open."
But it's just as valuable to OnStar and its customers as it is to GM, if not more so. Diagnostic data dumped from cars gets processed and put into GM's quality management database, which gives the auto maker an early heads-up on parts that fail too frequently. The instrumentation can identify problems in subsystems down to the part level, a feature used by GM during pre-production to track quality issues with parts before they start rolling en masse off assembly lines.
Thinking outside the car
Over the past few years, Schwinke said GM and OnStar have started "extending services to outside of the vehicle." This allows customers to interact with and control the vehicle even when they're not in it. That idea was given a jolt with the Volt, which demanded a higher level of information for owners when they weren't driving.
OnStar developed phone apps for the Volt's release that allowed owners to check on the charging status of their cars, control when they charge (to take advantage of off-peak utility rates), and get notifications pushed to them when charging was complete. First demonstrated at the 2010 International CES electronics show, the application also allowed drivers to lock or unlock the car, turn on heat or air conditioning, flash lights, and honk the horn remotely from their phone. On top of all that, it gave drivers access to a range of data about their car's performance.
The work OnStar did to create software interfaces for the Volt—which became known as OnStar's Advanced Telematics Operating Management System (ATOMS)—was quickly expanded to incorporate GM's other OnStar-equipped vehicles. "We saw that opportunity," Schwinke said, "and saw we needed to extend that to the rest of our customers. Pretty much every GM vehicle since 2011 can be controlled by a remote app."
The ATOMS platform also gave OnStar the opportunity to get into the business of providing APIs to partners, creating a whole new line of business. Last January, OnStar announced the availability of its third-party API and its first partnership with RelayRides. In July, GM and OnStar announced OnStar's six million customers could participate in RelayRides without having to install additional hardware in their vehicles or hang around to exchange keys. The RelayRides phone app hooks into OnStar's remote control system, and remotely unlocks and starts the car for the renter.
Built with integration software from Apigee, OnStar's cloud APIs provide a REST-based gateway Web service for service providers to connect to ATOMS, rather than connecting directly to vehicle. "We do all of the security credentials through our back office systems," Schwinke said. "Communication to the vehicle isn't broadly exposed."
Schwinke said OnStar was already working with a number of other partners to leverage ATOMS' cloud interface—among them electric companies who were looking to extend their "smart grid" services to Volt vehicles. "We've been doing some demonstrations and prototyping with public utility companies for smart grid command and response," he said. "The utility companies can send instructions to the car to control when it charges and when it doesn't. It can save the car owner money, and flatten electrical demand curves."
From tire-kicking to app hacking
While GM and OnStar were planning a broader rollout of access to the ATOMS APIs, customers had limited access to a controlled set of partners until recently. But that didn't stop Rosack from wanting access to his OnStar data and wanting more than just a look at it on his phone.
"Right after I got my Volt," Rosack said, "I started playing around with (the phone) app... I figured it'd be cool if I could find a way to store that data in a database, so I reverse engineered the service calls that the app makes and created Volt Stats."
Soon, he took the next logical step and launched Volt Stats as a website. Using the reverse-engineered Web service call, he allowed other Volt owners to gain access to their own data and share it on the site. It did more than track a vehicle's electrical and gas mileage—it allowed owners to share their location to show geographic differences in mileage performance and track driver "achievements" for the best performing cars. Cars here were ranked by energy efficiency history.
The site gained a good deal of notice within the Volt owner community and the automotive press. By September of 2012, there were more than 1,800 active registered users sharing their Volt data. But as OnStar continued to develop its API, it discovered a problem with how Volt Stats was connecting to the ATOMS cloud. Among the concerns was owner privacy, since the site used owners' OnStar usernames and passwords directly to access the data. It was also pulling location data.
On October 13, Rosack informed the Volt Stats community that GM was cutting him off. " GM has informed me that they'll be shutting down the interface I'm using to collect data for Volt Stats effective immediately," he wrote on Facebook.
Rather than leaving it at that, GM accelerated efforts to build a new public API. "They've promised to work with me to get an alternate API available," Rosack told his users, "so hopefully data collection won't be down that long. I'll keep you all updated as I hear more."
That new API uses JAX-RS (the Java API for RESTful Web services) and OAuth, the protocol for API access delegation used by Twitter and other social media and Web services providers. Doug Mutart, OnStar's Chief Architect, immediately put out a call for API developers to help build the public UI, and a group of contractors came on to rapidly scale up OnStar's API efforts. Meanwhile, Rosack needed to draft a privacy policy that would pass inspection with GM's legal department. A little more than a month later—November 20—Volt Stats was back up and running, though users had to re-register through the new API.
Where we're going, we don't need roads
With the new public API now up and running, OnStar has its sights on other applications for its infrastructure. Schwinke said OnStar is reexamining how vehicles communicate with the data center, and the company is looking at additional services that can be delivered in the vehicle.
"I've got a lot of cool stuff going on," he said. "We've built a 4G car, and did a cloud within the car." (OnStar also held a "hackathon" this summer to come up with new ideas for applications that can be built on the service.)
But Schwinke hinted OnStar's sights may be set beyond cars, and that the ATOMS platform could be applied to other machine-to-machine communication applications. While he wouldn't give details, Schwinke said OnStar's experience in this space places the company in a position to be a big player in the broader, emerging market for smart machines.

Processor is very vital hardware for processing any task on the device software, this is also included for the Graphic hardware that have main function for rendering graphic image on the device, the both of hardware is related each other every times, on the Motorola Moto G71 5G we can see this device use Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 for CPU model and Adreno 619 for GPU model, are them good enough?
Yes, they are a good combination, this CPU and GPU setup can be use for handling multiple purpose on this device, such as for run some games, opening some apps, also have good performance when processing and rendering 3D image on the specific level that they can do at the maximal limit.
Besides CPU and GPU hardware, memory hardware is also very important sector for getting best experience for user when use that device for any multiple purpose, the memory sector itself are combination from the RAM capacity, internal memory storage and support for external expansion memory, then does Motorola Moto G71 5G is good enough on term of memory performance?
When we see the memory combination specification we can see the Motorola Moto G71 5G have 6GB / 8GB amount of RAM, then also have 128GB internal memory storage capacity and the user can get more storage in this device, because Motorola Moto G71 5G does support external memory expansion with using MicroSDXC type.
Thus, is Motorola Moto G71 5G have a good memory performance? from the spec said Motorola Moto G71 5G it's good for use to any purpose in the modern use, but it's also depending from the user perspective need.
Just like other modern smart devices that exist today, Motorola Moto G71 5G also have camera feature for bringing best experience to their user, on the main / rear camera feature we can found Triple Setup camera configuration feature that exist on there.
The main / rear camera specification on Motorola Moto G71 5G are (Main) 50 MP, f/1.8, 1/2.76", 0.64µm, PDAF for the main camera configuration setup. There was also available for secondary camera feature with spec (Ultrawide) 8 MP, f/2.2, 118˚, 1/4.0", 1.12µm.

Middle-aged? Put down the meat
Eating a high-protein diet in middle age could increase your risk of diabetes and cancer, according to a study published this week in the journal Cell Metabolism. But don't stay away from meat for too long - the same study showed those over 65 need more protein to reduce their mortality risk.
Insulin-like growth factor 1, or IGF-1, is a protein in your body related to growth and development. Past studies have linked IGF-1 to age-related diseases, including cancer. Mice and humans with higher levels of IGF-1 often have a higher risk of developing these diseases.
Scientists believe protein intake plays a role in IGF-1 activity. Eating less protein, studies have shown, can lead to lower levels of IGF-1 in your body. So theoretically, protein consumption could be directly linked to disease incidence and death.
The study
Researchers analyzed survey data from 6,381 U.S. men and women aged 50 and above to understand the link between protein, certain diseases and mortality.
The study participants were split into three groups: a high-protein group who ate 20% or more of their daily calories from proteins; a moderate-protein group who ate 10 to 19% of their calories from proteins; and a low-protein group.
Researchers also looked at the differences in risk between those aged 50 to 65 and those over 65 years old.
The results
People between the ages of 50 and 65 who ate a high-protein diet had a 74% increase in overall mortality compared to those in the low-protein group. The meat lovers also had four-fold increased risk of dying from cancer during the study's 18-year follow-up.
However, this risk was only seen in those who got their protein from animal sources such as meat, eggs and cheese; the link disappeared if the protein came from plants, such as nuts, seeds and beans.
People who were over the age of 65 and ate a high-protein diet saw the opposite effect. Researchers saw a 28% reduction in death from all causes in this group. Cancer deaths in this older, high-protein group, were also reduced.
Study participants of any age who ate a high-protein diet had a five-fold increased risk of dying from diabetes.
The scientists had IGF-1 data for more than 2,200 people in the study. Analyzing this information, they determined that for every IGF-1 increase of 10 ng/ml, those on a high-protein diet were 9% more likely to die from cancer than those on a low-protein diet.
The study authors concluded that high levels of animal proteins cause increased levels of IGF-1 and possibly insulin in the body, which leads to higher mortality for people ages 50 to 65.
Tumors in mice
Researchers also reported on a separate experiment, where lab mice were either on a high-protein or a low-protein diet. Mice on the low-protein diet had a lower cancer rate than those on a high-protein diet, even after being implanted with 20,000 melanoma cells. The low-protein mice also had smaller tumors on average than those on a high-protein diet by the end of the six-week experiment.
When the mice were switched from a high-protein diet to a low-protein diet, researchers saw a 30% decrease in their IGF-1 levels.
"Almost everyone is going to have a cancer cell or pre-cancer cell in them at some point. The question is: Does it progress?" study author Valter Longo said in a press release. "Turns out one of the major factors in determining if it does is protein intake."
Eating more than 10% of your calories from animal proteins in middle age could increase your risk of dying from diseases such as cancer and diabetes. But after 65, you may need that extra protein to protect your body from becoming frail.
"The majority of Americans are eating about twice as much proteins as they should," Longo said. "It seems that the best change would be to lower the daily intake of all proteins, but especially animal-derived proteins."
Walter Willett, an epidemiologist at Harvard's School of Public Health, says not much should be made of this study's findings. It's unreasonable to treat "animal protein" as one class, he says, as fish, poultry and red meat are all very different.
Willett also noted that the headline on the press release associated with this study - "Meat and cheese may be as bad for you as smoking" - is a vast overstatement. The researchers did not include data on smoking in their study.
The Institute of Medicine's Food and Nutrition Board recommends eating about 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight every day in middle age. So a 160-pound person should eat about 55 to 60 grams of protein a day.

Here is my financial analysis on ISIS.
We all know interest rates will soon creep up.
Capital markets are concerned. Stock markets are in turmoil.
We all know that like Greece, India has one of the highest GDP to Debt ratios. When rates go up, India will default on its financial obligations. The country will collapse. It is already in serious economic turmoil.
ISIS has figured it out and is positioning itself to take a big chunk of India away for its Caliphate if not the entire swathe.
Ur stupid
I am a Hindu boy from India. .
I do..

This evening's show was prerecorded at Pomegranate Supermarket (1507 Coney Island Avenue – corner of Avenue L – Brooklyn, New York 11230; Tel: 718.951.7112). We spoke with Avi Gantz – General Manager, Ari Heineman – Meat Department Manager and Chef Boris, one of the main wizards in Pomegranate's kitchens. It will broadcast this evening at 8:30pm Eastern Time on BlogTalkRadio.com.
While I never considered it a pleasure to go to a supermarket, it was just one of those places one had to shop at, that all changed when Pomegranate opened in 2008.
The wide aisles, the cleanliness, the well stacked shelves, the fresh fruits and vegetables, the rich selection of items, the colors of food as it is displayed, all have made Pomegranate a place where a foodie – a kosher foodie – can spend a long time shopping and enjoying the experience.
We spoke about the philosophy behind the store, we spoke to the special people who make every customer feel special and every visit a delectation.
Please tune us in this evening at 8:30pm Eastern Time on BlogTalkRadio.com. Meanwhile you can listen to our earlier programs from this week: The Center for Kosher Culinary Arts and A conversation with Jack Dahan.

COLUMN: On football from the couch
I'm on the couch.
The question occurred to me, being the existential Monday morning quarterback that I am: Was there really a loser in Sunday's Super Bowl?
These and other questions floated in and out of my conscious and subconscious mind as I slipped into a Super Bowl coma Sunday night.
You know the macho slogan that has been passed from generation to generation like an old pair of shoes from your great-great grandfather's attic, the one with the soles worn out from overuse because he couldn't afford another pair of shoes. "No one remembers who finished second." "Nice guys finish last." "Every time you lose, you die a little."
Of course, there really was a loser.
But, at the same and fleeting moment they lost the Super Bowl — the San Francisco 49ers — were still the champions of the National Football Conference. That now overlooked accomplishment makes them essentially winners. But, in sports, there can be only one winner. They lost the only game that counts.
Sports, like many things in life, have been reduced — I say, reduced, because, rather than focusing on the means to the end, competition has been enlarged to show a rough though undeniable texture that it doesn't matter how to get there, just get there, baby — to an obsession of being at the top, sometimes at any cost. Who cares? As long as you get a 'W.'
The apex of professional football is the Super Bowl, an odd name for a championship game but one given to make the game appealing, rather than calling it the NFL-AFL Championship Game, or, more currently, the NFC-AFC Championship Game. They added roman numerals to make it look even more dignified. Now they charge millions of dollars for 30-second advertisements, which themselves have become a part of the game as much as the game itself.
But football isn't dignified. It's downright brutal. That's why we love it. That's why we crave it. That's why we can't live without it. We glory in vicarious violence. Look at the mass following of UFC, boxing, NASCAR crashes, baseball and basketball brawls. We bask in the thrill of the moment when grown men all but maim each other while children watch with their parents and would rather, as unfathomable as it sounds, rather be in bed fast asleep.
Some call it goal-setting. Others call it a quest for greatness, a search for excellence. Frankly, I've grown weary of the romanticized view of sports. It has nothing to do with pride or principle, but about motivating one's self to do things his body can't do under normal conditions. Competition doesn't make someone a better person, just like choosing to be something other than an athlete doesn't make you less of a person.
Nevertheless, it's something that anyone who has been cast under the spell of vintage NFL Films programs can understand. Or reading Jerry Kramer's "Instant Replay." It's a hyptotic allegience that we Americans have bestowed upon this game we call American football, an offshoot of rugby that so long ago was nearly abolished but given a reprieve after measures were taken to make the game safer.
But when the final whistle blows, and the dust clears, what is left? A renewed search for greatness after the brief afterglow of another game, which happens to conclude another season, which happens to morph into another off-season of afterthoughts, forethoughts and ponderings of: what is this all about afterall?
After all, there is a life after football. For many, it's not much of a life at all.
The game has endured and shows no signs of fading into the recesses of American history in spite of voices from the past and present sounding the alarm of impending doom brought on by the 'C' word and, frankly, by how the game is played. Think that will change anything? No. Because the game is played at such a high rate of speed which physics professors could expound on with gusto — mass plus force times velocity at a given point, creating a flashpoint, or collision, between two (or more) animate moving objects. In layman's terms, we call this full contact. In reality, it's disaster waiting to happen.
The human body is not built for football. Just ask anyone who has suffered a knee injury, or any injury for that matter. Football is another example of man's fascination with self-destruction. However, it is unlike man's obsession with testing the limits of human expansion, like flight or space exploration. The new American pastime is about expressing physical rage and dominance against an opposing force and calling it a sport.
There was chatter about player safety, the bane of performance enhancing substances, the olive branch to football widows everywhere in the form of the halftime show as well as white noise on any number of subjects and issues related to — and not related to — this game we call American football.
The rhetoric of it all is mind-numbing and nauseating. Making football safer? The only way to solve the problem is to eliminate the cause of it. That won't happen. Helmet makers will continue to outproduce flag makers. Doctors and lawyers will continue to rake in much money. The NFL will continue to make obscene profits. Players will continue to suffer the consequences of playing a game people can't live without.
We just can't wait for next season. Can't we?

Today's News: Our Take - Friday Night Lights' Kyle Chandler to Star in Showtime's The Vatican Pilot
Showtime has drafted former Friday Night Lights star Kyle Chandler to star in its new drama pilot The Vatican, the cable network announced Friday.
The Emmy winner formerly known as Coach has taken the lead role as Cardinal Thomas Duffy, a charismatic yet mysterious Archbishop of New York whose progressive leanings enthuse some and worry others within the hierarchy of the Catholic Church. The modern-day thriller, set to begin production sometime this year, will also star Watchmen's Matthew Goode and A Good Day to Die Hard's Sebastian Koch.
Get all the latest pilots news
Goode will play Papal Secretary Bernd Koch, the current Pope's closest confidante. Koch has been cast as Cardinal Marco Malerba, the Vatican's Secretary of State.
The project reunites Chandler with Showtime head David Nevins, who served as an executive producer on Friday Night Lights. "Kyle Chandler is one of the most talented and sought-after actors working today, and was a fantastic creative partner through five seasons of Friday Night Lights," Nevins said in a statement. "With Kyle, Matthew Goode and Sebastian Koch, Ridley and Paul have put together a powerhouse cast to anchor this incredibly timely show."
Showtime boss sounds off on Vatican pilot and Dexter's end
The Vatican is the first TV project for three-time Oscar nominee Ridley Scott (Gladiator), who will direct the pilot written by two-time Oscar nominee Paul Attanasio (House). Both will executive-produce with David Zucker (The Good Wife).
Following the end of Friday Night Lights, Chandler has appeared in a slew of big-screen films including Oscar Best Picture nominees Argo and Zero Dark Thirty.

|Condition or disease
|HIV Infections Pregnancy
|Drug: Lopinavir/ritonavir Drug: Ortho Novum 1/35 Drug: Ortho Evra
|Phase 2
Both PIs and oral contraceptives are metabolized by the same pathway, which significantly decreases the effectiveness of oral contraceptives and limits the contraceptive choices available to HIV infected women. More effective hormonal contraceptive methods are necessary for preventing unintended pregnancy in women taking highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). Ortho Evra is a contraceptive patch that was approved by the FDA in 2001; it uses a transdermal contraceptive system, and higher rates of compliance have been associated with its use, compared to oral contraceptives. Because Ortho Evra is administered as a contraceptive patch worn on the skin, it may bypass the metabolic pathway common to both PIs and oral contraceptives, making it a viable contraceptive option for HIV infected women on PI-based regimens. The purpose of the study is to examine the interaction between a PI-based regimen containing LPV/r and two forms of contraceptive medications, Ortho Evra and an oral contraceptive, Ortho Novum (ON 1/35), in HIV infected women.
Participants will be enrolled in this study for 6 weeks and will be assigned to one of two study arms, depending on their HAART regimen at study entry. Participants in both arms will also be stratified by age. Arm A participants will receive 400 mg/100 mg LPV/r twice daily along with two or more nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs). Arm B participants will receive a regimen containing only NRTIs or no HAART. HAART will not be provided by this study. All patients will receive a single dose of ON 1/35 on Day 1 and will start the Ortho Evra contraceptive patch on Day 3. A physical exam, pap smear, pregnancy test, viral load test, CD4 and CD8 counts, and blood collection will occur at or before study entry and on Day 24. Pharmacokinetic analyses will occur on Days 1 through 3, 17 through 19, and 24.

The Supreme Court announced on Friday that it will consider a legal challenge to a patent on a breast cancer gene held by the firm Myriad Genetics. The case could have broad implications for the future of medical diagnostic techniques.
In March, the Supreme Court ordered an appeals court to reconsider a 2011 decision holding that genetic material could be patented once it has been "isolated" from the human body. At the time, the Supreme Court had just rejected patents on medical diagnostic techniques, and the high court wanted the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit to re-consider its previous ruling in light of this new precedent.
In August, the Federal Circuit, which is responsible for hearing all patent law appeals, decided to stick with its previous ruling. It once again concluded that DNA sequences could be patented once they had been isolated from the human body. Now the Supreme Court will have a chance to check the Federal Circuit's work.
The underlying lawsuit in the case was brought by a group of medical professionals and patients who argue that their research and health is adversely affected by Myriad's patents. The courts have held that natural phenomena are not eligible for patent protection, and the plaintiffs argue that patenting a naturally-occurring genetic sequence amounts to claiming a fact of nature. But Myriad disputes that, arguing that the complex process for extracting the genetic material effectively creates a new, artificially created, molecule that is eligible for patent protection.
The Federal Circuit's ruling was decided by a 2-1 margin. The dissenting judge, William Bryson, compared isolating the DNA to snapping a leaf from a tree. "Prematurely plucking the leaf would not turn it into a human-made invention," Judge Bryson wrote in August. "That would remain true if there were minor differences between the plucked leaf and the fallen autumn leaf, unless those differences imparted 'markedly different characteristics' to the plucked leaf."
But the two-judge majority disagreed with Judge Bryson. "No one could contemplate that snapping a leaf from a tree would be worthy of a patent," they argued. On the other hand, "isolating genes to provide useful diagnostic tools and medicines is surely what the patent laws are intended to encourage and protect."
There seems to be a parallel to a Federal Circuit ruling last year holding that the Supreme Court's rule against patenting mathematical algorithms doesn't apply if applying the algorithm is sufficiently complicated. Similarly, the two judges who upheld the Myriad patent appear to believe that if it's technically challenging to extract DNA sequences from the human body, then the resulting substance will be patent-eligible. Now we'll find out if the nation's highest court buys this line of reasoning.

Why laughing is healthy
Can watching a funny cat video at work actually improve your productivity?
A study presented at this year's annual Experimental Biology conference finds that when people laugh, their brains are activated in the same way as when people are mindfully meditating.
The study, from researchers at Loma Linda University, measured the brain activity of 31 people when they watched a funny video and again when they watched a stressful video. Researchers measured activity in nine parts of the brain. What they noted was that during the funny videos, the viewers actually activated their entire brains, with high gamma wave activity, as measured by electroencephalography, or EEG.
EEG measures electrical activity along the scalp. "The electrical activity translates to neuroactivity," said the lead researcher, Dr. Lee Berk. Gamma wave activity is associated with increased dopamine levels and putting the brain's cognitive state at its most alert level.
Berk explained, "What we know is that gamma is found in every part of the brain and that it helps generate recall and reorganization." That's why, he said, after people meditate, they feel refreshed and are better positioned to solve problems.
Not only can laughing help increase your awareness, Berk thinks it is likely to have the health benefits of meditation, like reducing stress, blood pressure and pain.
Berk acknowledges that more research is needed about how laughing can actually benefit our health, but he is optimistic about an area of science that shows real correlation between the mind and body. "We are looking at the keyhole in the door – and the light is bright on the other side," he said.
The bottom line, he says: "Humor is evidenced to have a therapeutic value."
So next time your boss catches you watching a funny cat video, just tell her that you're trying to be more productive.
